Exhibit of Professor Jim Chisholm's Paintings
All are invited to stop by the Lynn Campus Library to see an exhibit of Professor Jim Chisholm’s paintings which will be on display through December 17, 2019.
About the artist -
James Ross Chisholm’s paintings depict the scenic landscape of the Northeastern coast of the United States. In a nod to the French and American 19th-Century landscape painters, Chisholm works en plein air. By inserting himself directly into nature, Chisholm has developed an interest in how the atmospheric conditions influence his compositions. He welcomes nature’s accidents and uses the unpredictability as an artistic impetus. How will the cold impact his palette? Will the rain leave traces on his canvas? How will the light, color, or mood change?
Based in Salem, Massachusetts, Chisholm's work can be found in collections throughout Massachusetts and New York. A graduate of Northeastern University, receiving his Bachelor of Science, Chisholm later attended the Boston Museum School and the Massachusetts College of Art where he received his Master of Science in Art Education.
Molière’s A Doctor in Spite of Himself

Health care reform receives a fresh—and bawdy—treatment in Christopher Bayes’ and Steven Epp’s adaptation of A Doctor in Spite of Himself. Like a puppet play come to life, this full-bodied farce relates the improbable adventures of a woodcutter who is mistaken for a miracle doctor. (Note: adult themes and subject matter).
A Doctor in Spite of Himself is produced by special arrangement with Broadway Play Publishing, Inc, NYC. www.broadwayplaypub.com
